The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is spacious, well finished and good to drive, if a little expensive

Trim:

The entry point to the range gets plenty of kit, including sat-nav, dual-zone climate control, a multi-function steering wheel, 16in alloy wheels, rear parking sensors and automatic lights and wipers as standard. Add a couple of choice options and it’s all you really need.

Engine:

This is the most powerful diesel engine in the range and makes the 2 Series Active Tourer feel rather sprightly. Efficiency is good, thanks to the standard automatic gearbox, although it does make the car too expensive to recommend.
